Fast-knitting and small-budget projects are always hot, whether you’re a first-time knitter or an avid crafter. This special issue brings you truly simple knits that don’t require much yarn and are super-cute to boot.

This issue is aimed at the new(ish) knitter, someone who’s recently learned to knit from a teacher or friend, and who’s itching just to make something. The magazine covers all the basics (to reinforce those newfound skills), but the patterns can stand on their own for knitters of all skill levels. This issue retains Knitscene's usual sense of style and fun, and regular readers will find lots to love here. Enjoy!

Indulge your passion for knitting with Knitting Traditions! This 148-page special publication from PieceWork magazine presents more than 40 projects—socks, shawls and scarves, items for baby, a variety of hand coverings, hats, squares and edgings, and finger puppets—each with a story that provides historical context. Here are just a few examples: Peruvians used a technique—knitting’s precursor—called cross looping or needleknitting to fashion exquisite, tiny figures, using cactus thorns as needles, between 200 B.C. and A.D. 200. Fourteenth-century Italian artists painted pictures of the Madonna knitting. A glove with a romantic history knitted in Sweden during the sixteenth-century is preserved in a museum. Swedish knitters have been using the two-end technique since at least the seventeenth century. By the mid-eighteenth century, Russian shawls from Orenburg achieved international status. Prolific Victorian knitters fashioned all sorts of knitted items in the nineteenth century. German designers were producing hundreds of patterns for “art knitting” in the early decades of the twentieth century. And a veritable “Who’s Who” of late-twentieth- and early-twenty-first-century knitting designers share their passion within these pages!
